Why have a new search engine? • Support web-based applications • Expand record search capabilities • Improve consistency with wildcards and recursion • Improve search capabilities for other TRIM objects • Locations, workflow, schedules, ... • Improved language support • CMIS and e-Discovery, emerging requirements
Key design goals • Simple string for embedding in web application urls • Support existing search capabilities • Support existing search optimisations • Provide multiple object navigation • Have a consistent approach to string wildcard expressions • Implement recursive object navigation in a standard way • Provide fully functional programming interface • Rich search capability for all TRIM objects • Saved searches to work for all locales
Syntax • Search consist of one or more clauses • Clauses are combined with and or or • Use ( ) for precedence • Optional not for clauses or bracketed expressions title:inspection and registeredOn:this week registeredOn:this week and (assignee:helen or author:helen) registeredOn:this week and not assignee:me
Syntax (cont.) • A clause has the form method:parameters • A method can be • generic, applying to many object types all, none, uri, usable, favorite, within, … • object-specific, each object has its own list of available methods assignee for records, surname for locations, … • an additional field the method name is the field name with no spaces • All methods have a format • determines how you specify the parameters string, word index, date, object, number, enumerated value, boolean
String Format • Single search value inspection • Single search value with wildcards inspect* - finds inspector, inspects, inspection, inspections,… • Can be creative with wildcardsd?om*a?y – finds dromedary, camel, ship of desert • String range (no wildcards allowed) 87/00000 to 87/9999 • String value list (no wildcards allowed) prescribed, burning, hazard, reduction • Use quotes to include spaces, etc “*hazard reduction*”
Word Index Format • Single word fire • Single word, with wildcard fire* • Multiple words (implicit and) fire warning system* • Multiple words (implicit or) fire, warning, system • Phrase “fire warning system”
Date Format • Single date 1/1/77 • Single date with time 1/1/83 12:30:00 • Date range 1/1/77 to 1/1/83 • Date range shortcuts last 7 seconds/minutes/hours/days/weeks/ months/quarters/years this/next [fiscal] year/quarter year/quarter/month to date 2006, february 2006, february today, tomorrow, yesterday
Number Format • Single number, suitable for type 107 $27.35 2.5 • Number Range 107 to 206 $100 to $999 • List of numbers (implicitly or’d) 10,17,222 $100, $200, $300
Enumeration Format • Single value using caption: low addressee • Single value using underlying number 2 • Set of values using captionlow,mediumauthor,addressee • Set of values using underlying number 1,3,44
Object Format • Single uri value (uri now exposed) 377 • Multiple uri values in a list 44,55,678 • Single uri value, recursive 377+ • Multiple uri values, maybe recursive 44,55+,678+ • Subquery [surname:smith and gender:male and dob:1964]
Boolean Format • Has no parameters at all • Use not to negate search requirement active not active
Language Support • Basic grammatical elements are translated • and/or/not/to • last/this/next/fiscal/to date • All search method names are translated • Caption editor is available for search methods • “Internal” search method names guaranteed to work • mainly for developers wishing to work with search strings
Saving Searches • Any search can now be saved • see TRIM “Save Search As” menu item • A saved search can be embedded inside another search • use the generic saved method • Saved searches can be grouped hierarchically • Saved Searches can be assigned to an owner • can now be a project team or section • Saved searches use an XML search format • Saved searches are language independent • automatically converted to client’s locale
